Adventures in Motherhood

Lightbulb Moment:

Is there really a point to picking up toys...they just keep appearing! :)

It's worth it:

The other night I read a book to James in which the names of many rear animals were named. At the end of the book it showed how many where endangered and or extinct. We then spent the next hour on the computer researching and reading about the most endangered animals. As I was tucking James in bed when he asked if we could say a prayer for the endangered animals. I said sure. He then said a prayer blessing the endangered animals to get on the non-endangered list and that people would stop killing them. It brought a tear to my eye. After he asked if I thought that some people would stop killing. I said I think so.

Bless his heart!!! I am so glad that he shares the same love Sean and I have for animals.

"While the cats away the mice will play!"

Laughter is not always a good signs of getting along......more often it's the sound of a hurricane flooding the bathroom while attempting to drench stuffed animals in the sink. :)

Latest clean-up crew is reporting tragic 7 partial drowning. All are respected to recover after spending some time in the local dryer. The area is now closed to all foot traffic until the clean-up crew has finished the daunting task at hand. Locals say it was the work of
a couple category 5 hurricanes by the names Jaime & Brendando that collided.

Adventures in Motherhood

I watched the movie Julie and Julia last night. It inspired me to write. I thought what could I write about.....of course my Adventures in Motherhood. So here it goes. I'll write a little bit about my adventures as often as possible. I hope you enjoy and to all the other mothers I hope it helps you fill you are not alone in this crazy, exciting rollercoaster ride. :)

"Plumber's Putty is not 'Silly Putty' and will make in into your childrens' ears and hair and is infinately harder to remove."

Thank goodness for future doctor uncles and their skills with a crochet hook!


It's all worth it!:

Brendan was talking to Jessica about James' friend coming over after school. He told her to "not be so cute around him 'cause he is a boy". I think he just wanted to let her know that James' friend wouldn't be interested in girl toys but it was so cute anyway and hopefully a foreshadowing of her brother protection when they are older. :)
